The Election of 2008

In 5 days , the General Election will end and announce who will lead a broken, seperated and dishonored America. I believe that what has happened in the recent weeks about who is blaming who?, who is responsible for the economic collapse, and who is going to take care of the American peoples needs is of fault of the 8 miserable years of the Bush Administration. Both Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama are refuting and battling it out for the important swing states and battleground states they both need in order to win the Presidential Election. However, I have noticed that in the midst of the Election, Sen. McCain and his running mate Gov. Sarah Palin have been more focused on attacking Sen. Obama's character and patriotism to turn the endeavor they are facing in the polls than to focus on the main objective which is the people of America. Nevertheless, Sen. McCain seems as if he doesn't realize that his campaign looks exactly like what he promise not to do during the Primaries. It seems that since the McCain camp is so obviously in very deep trouble in the final seconds of the general Election, that they are using the ultimate, desperate tactic: to attack the opponent's character. He has brought up the Rev. Wright scandal and the Bill Ayers connection. This tactic seems old fashioned politico, but in the turn of the tide of CHANGE, Sen. McCain must understand that the time has come for someone new and someone deeply connected with the people. Sen. McCain's service is very honorable and I salute the sacrifice he has done for the greatest country in the world. However, this Election is about CHANGE and the accusations of radicalism from the McCain campaign is a a distraction they are willing to impose on the American people to make them skeptical about Sne. Obama's credibility.
